Smithsonian Readers 1: Building Lighthouses

Lighthouses have helped people navigate for centuries. But lighthouses are not built like they used to be. Learn how innovations like computers and solar power have improved lighthouse technology. Created in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution, this title builds students' literacy skills while fostering curiosity, creativity, and innovation. A hands-on STEAM challenge guides students through each step of the engineering design process and is ideal for makerspace activities.
